May 4, the boards were inserted back into Colcord Pond Dam. With all the rain we're getting the level should be rising quickly.
May 7, Black Bog Dam has several boards removed in anticipation of large culverts being installed on Old Meetinghouse Road. Work should start in a couple of weeks. It is necessary to lower the water level significantly for work and safety.
Bickford Pond dam repairs are still pending and the water level will continue to be kept low inorder to let the earthworks dry out.
